I don’t think anyone looks down on Texans.
Texans have their own facilities, pretty steep fees, history, exclusive Nike kits, and other resources as any big club should.
What that club lacks is beyond me and I wouldn’t be able to explain why they don’t experience the success like they used to. With all that the club possesses and their tenured coaching staff, why don’t more parents and players choose them? Not being judgmental but seriously curious why the players that seek the highest platform to play on make DTSC a last option?

Mostly because they (Hassan) now only value and view the girls as a revenue stream to support the boys programs at Texans.  Thus, the girls teams are treated with little support.  They have good/great coaches that have cycled through DTSC The last few years because of it and the cycle has trended downward.  Hard to turn it around.

Friend of mine just told me his daughter attended a Texans U17 ECNL...she was advised that they had 26 on the roster. Boys are in for a financial treat of this is the case. 26 is overkill.

New to this, Not sure how to respond directly to your question.  My opinion on the 05's is all over the place.  Like everything else, combinations and lineups are being tested and vetted out. I think we will see some darkhorse teams surprising us at each age group.

I’ll take a crack a preseason 05 rankings for the locals:

1. FCD
2. Solar
3. DKSC
4. SB
5. DT
6. SR
